the u.s. does not directly deal with hamas. in order to be a broker between both sides the u.s. necessarily needs to deal with egypt. >> yes well, you know, john mccain we see hillary clinton there. john mccain had another opinion who he thinks should be over in the mideast talking to these people. >> even someone as high ranking frankly as former president bill clinton to go and be the negotiator. i know he would hate me for saying that, but we need someone of enormous prestige and influence to sit down with the parties together and work as a broker. >> when we see mccain saying something nice about a democrat, he has to go and say one more thing. this is john mccain once again. >> if this god-forbid violence escalates, if someone was there brokering the process and bringing a halt to it. now the president makes phone callscalls from burma? i can tell that you al-qaeda is on the rise and they're moving throughout the middle east, and we'll pay a very heavy price for it because of the lack of american leadership. >> you know michael, he mentions kissinger from the 70s, baker fro

to what degree can the u.s. function legitimately as a neutral honest broker. when you look at the funding. when you look at the iron dome and the casualty rates it raises questions to me about whether or not the cease-fire can be held together when the u.s. one side. >> the united states simply does not deal with hamas directly. it deals with it through egypt. it sees it as a terrorist entity. you're right, israel and the united states are close allies, and the united states by 2015 will have dedicated close to $1 billion if authorization bills hold, they will have dedicated close to $1 billion to the iron dome system. so that's why the egyptian role is so important in all this. egypt acts as the conduit between american interest and diplomacy into the gaza strip. >> michael: you can follow tim mak on tim kmak on political could. we switch to hardcore politics. yes it's the first annual tyt turkey pardon. should this turkey be saved? >> i have a deal for the president. a deal that i don't believe he can refuse.. >> michael: yeah i'm just going to go with no, t

this has been a tradition of the u.s. to come in when tensions flare to work something out and hopefully a lasting peace not one that just lasts a couple of years. >> first thing that struck me when i saw that hillary clinton with benjamin netanyahu was it didn't matter that netanyahu backed romney. all of that time wasted, all of that money wasted perhaps. speaking today with netanyahu. >> president obama asked me to come to israel with a very clear message. america's commitment to israel's security is rock solid and unwavering. that's why we believe it is essential to de-escalate the situation. the rocket attacks from terrorist organizations inside gaza on israeli cities and towns must end and a broader calm restored. >> so you hear hillary clinton there. israel saying some of the conditions that they want out of this cease fire would be having no more rockets fired out of gaza. soldiers patrolling the frontier would, in fact, not be attacked. weapons, stockpiles wouldn't be replenished. it seems like a tall order. it i
